• Description:
  The Occupational Health Equity program is working to integrate a social determinants of health approach to occupational safety and health. This work includes: 1. Improving surveillance and research methods to more precisely identify which social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantages contribute to higher rates of occupational injury and illness in which industries. 2. Promoting research that explains how barriers to safety and health related to these factors occur at the worksite and how they can be overcome. 3. Developing and evaluating tailored occupational safety and health programs, policies or other changes that directly address these barriers either by themselves or in combination (Overlapping Vulnerabilities) 4. Improving institutional infrastructure to address these risk factors through internal capacity building and partnership development. [Description provided by NIOSH]
